    Pizza Hut roof cleaning

    I went out this morning to look at a roof of a local Pizza Hut. I was told it was just painted a year ago and it's already got black stuff all over it. I'm wondering if it's a combination of algae and grease. When you rub in it, it kind of balls up. Has anyone had any experience with this...

    Possible Insurance Claim

    Not sure where to begin...I cleaned mold off the north side of a church using nothing more than just my jrod, so it was low pressure. There was some really old wiring and it shorted out pretty bad. Now three weeks later, I got a call from a guy that a couple of the board members want to know...

    Three jobs under the belt and more to come!

    It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally getting paid! Completed the first job last week - moldy siding and a concrete wash. Homeowner was thrilled! She had a bad experience with someone a year ago who didn't know what they were doing and left streaks on her driveway. I cleared it right...

    Residential Sales

    Here's something I put together to put into the hands of potential customers. I've also attached my service agreement. If anyone would be so kind as to give each a quick look and offer some feedback, that would be awesome.

    Residential Sales

    In order to drum up some business, I was considering typing up a flyer of sorts to highlight some benefits of having your property cleaned. I was going to intentionally stop at houses with buildup on siding/roofs and try and talk with them personally and hand them a flyer with my business card...

    Service Agreement/Proposal

    I've been all over looking for proposal sheets and service agreements, for commercial and residential. I've compiled and attached a word document of what I've seen on a lot of websites. Is this too wordy/overkill to hand to a potential customer? Many of the contracts and proposals I've found...

    Turning down a job

    My apologies if this post is in the wrong place, but I posted last week about cleaning the exterior of a bank. I actually used to work for them a number of years ago and I really respect the president of the bank. I know he asked me to do it as a way to help get my business going and I hate to...

    Stripping/Cleaning of Quartz

    I'm doing some research for a job I'm going to be doing. It's a bank with brick most of the way up and then a quartz material for the rest (pic is below). It also has some columns that are made from the same quartz material. The bank president told me he thinks it's been sealed around 4-5...

    Deck cleaning techniques

    So what are some tips for pressure washing decks? I'm fairly confident with it comes to driveways and siding, but I'm a little nervous to do my first deck for a paying customer. Case in point: The deck on my house is probably more than 20 years old. It was built before I owned the home...

    Help With Pricing Structures

    I have yet to do my first job, but I've already got one lined up. I really need to get figured out what and how I'm going to charge. I've seen different pricing structures from 10-25 cents per square foot, pricing range that goes in blocks of sq. footage (X amount for 1000-1499, then x amount...

    Hello everyone! Newbie here not only to the forum, but also to pressure washing.

    Hello everyone. I'm Tim and I live in Southwest Iowa. I'm just getting into pressure washing as my full time job. I plan on doing siding, roofs, concrete, and more as I learn. I'm really looking forward to learning all that I can from the veterans of pressure washing. I've already learned...
